New Tracks Weekend, August 8-10

CQ. A new band with an incredible pedigree, featuring members of Plastic Tree, Tokyo Shoegazer and others. Extremely limited edition album What a Wonderful World on CD only, and nearly impossible to get anywhere outside of Japan. After a month of harassment, we’ve got one track. It’s a world broadcast premiere. And we’re gonna share it like there’s no tomorrow. Because this is a most impressive band, and they deserve your attention. Plus we’re pushing around the very latest from headliners Sounds of Sputnik (you’ll be hard pressed not to fall for their sweet maelstrom), plus Popstrangers, Hush Pup, Movienite, Hot Glass, Astronaut Husband, and The Zephyr Bones. We’re also still pushing the new Prisms LP Whale Fall, and the glorious new sounds from Tape Waves, The Glass Set, We Need Secrets, and Depth & Current. Booyakasha!

8 pm Eastern, 5 pm Pacific, and continuing through Sunday at midnight Eastern, 9 Pacific. It’s the first weekend we’ll spin some of these tracks, and may be the last weekend for some others.
